Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Greek Yogurt Carbonara with Turkey Bacon.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the turkey bacon.
Step 2
Cook it for about five minutes, turning occasionally until it’s beautifully browned and crispy.
Step 3
Once it’s done, drain the bacon and let it cool for a moment before crumbling it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Next, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 5
Toss in the angel hair pasta and cook it for 4 to 5 minutes, just until it’s tender but still has a nice bite to it.
Step 6
While the pasta is cooking, grab a bowl and whisk together Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, an egg, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and onion powder until everything is well blended and creamy.
Step 7
When the pasta is ready, drain it and return it to the pot.
Step 8
Pour the luscious yogurt mixture over the warm pasta and stir gently over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the pasta beautifully.
Step 9
Finally, add the crumbled turkey bacon to the mix and toss everything together until every strand of pasta is well coated in that delicious sauce.
